Already we are seeing what impact the Smith release has had on the team. Cam has been upping his leadership role all morning long in interviews. Cam sounding a bit more like the man in control of this offense.

I am excited about this season. Things were shaken up a bit ( I won't lie the smith release hurt) but I am excited to see how we respond next season. I believe we are going to have our first back to back winning season. That is what Gettleman is setting us up for. Repeat sucess and not just a run every couple years.

^ yes but Cam is a little bit different then other athletes/politicians/ect.

in other words he has been rising to the occasion since he was in high school.

Of course he's different and I pray it actually happens. Im just thinking back to the thousands and thoysands of times athletes have said this same type of thing in press-conferences and post game interviews.

Cam is unbelievably talented and obviously wants to will this team to victory. Now is his time. With Cam at the helm, a top-3 defense, and Gett's out of cap hell (soon), im in love with the future potential of this team

Very possible.  Sometimes you get two ultra-competitive, alpha male types on the same project, you expect it to go well but they don't completely click quite like you'd hope.

 

I've been waiting for Newton to have his 'takeover' moment when he placed himself firmly in charge.  For Delhomme that occurred on his first drive in the Jacksonville game.  Jake came in, took charge of the huddle and led them down the field for a score.  From that point on, the team would have followed him through the gates of Hell.

 

There have been a couple of moments where I thought that might happen for Cam, but till now I sill haven't really felt it.  And it may indeed be that Steve's presence made that difficult.

 

I guess we'll see what happens this season.

Steve smith was a cheap excuse..

 

You don't become a leader by eliminating the strong egos, they must be convinced.

This is the difference between a leader and a shepherd..

 

A leader will lead both the sheeps and the wolves.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      so.....the entire second round is essentially holding out for guaranteed contracts.  Seems like it is stuck w/ Judkins and Emmanowori being the 3rd and 4th picks of that round and whatever slow trickle down does or doesn't produce from them.

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
